“Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.” -William Arthur Ward

I come home to find you in a panic,
In such a manic,
Because the computer is “broken” and you need me to help.
Once I connect the computer to the home wi-fi, you have your easy help.
Thank you, thank you,
I feel great knowing I was able to help you too.
I am not a teacher,
And I am not even really an expert helper.
I tried to teach you to do it on your own,
Our impatience and frustration makes us both moan.
I wish giving up was a crime,
So I don’t have to help you for the millionth time.
Because although I like knowing,
That you need me and are relying,
The truth is,
I won’t always be here to give the answers to your quiz.
